Even if you aren't stylish by nature, the Trial of Style has given all of us an opportunity to take the stage with our best transmog looks. It's been a fun, transmog filled week where we could all feel just a bit more fabulous. But everything ends eventually, and the Trial of Style is on its way out already — which means next week, we'll need to find new ways to feel fabulous.
I suppose we have the weekend to brainstorm for that.
But for now... the news.
I am not a lore person
- ...which means that I only understand about half of any given Know Your Lore post. But in today's KYL, Rossi wrote about Sigryn. I don't really know who that is, but it's still a good read.
The Overwatch dev team is responsible for our favorite game meme
- From Torbjorn wall running to Zenyatta walking, the team is making good on crazy fan requests. (But be careful, because Zenyatta's walking animation is terrifying and can't be unseen.)
And because we're talking about Overwatch League, it's been nothing but drama this week
- Four players were disciplined today, and Dallas Fuel player xQc has been suspended. Yes, again. He's not exactly happy about it, and seems to think this is part of a campaign against him. Unfortunately for xQc and everyone else, OWL has a pretty serious code of conduct — and they're enforcing it. In short: drama.
- An OWL stream moderator has been kicked because of sexual harassment. Blizzard explains that he was part of a community moderation team which it is currently replacing with a team of Blizzard employees... who we expect to have less interest in revenge porn.
- Both the Shanghai Dragons and London Spitfire lost their coaches this week.
- Dallas and London have added new players to their rosters, and Shanghai is finally expecting its newcomers to arrive in LA by the end of the month. (Go Dragons! You can do it! Just one win!)
The Hearthstone team is up to something
- Mostly getting lost. Dave Kosak has gone on an expedition to find the new expansion... and since they haven't heard from him in a few days, Ben Brode and Ben Thompson (Ben squared?) have gone searching for them. If they aren't back by Sunday night, we've been told to call Yong Woo.
- This is starting to seem like one of those horror stories where everyone goes into the basement one by one to be eaten by the monster. Hopefully we actually have some Hearthstone devs left after this, because I really like the game.
- And if you can forget your hype about the next expansion for a few minutes, you can now claim three free Kobolds and Catacombs packs as an apology for the Ranked Play bug this month. And we'll be getting another three packs later this month as part of the StarCraft anniversary celebration. Bring on the freebies! (But we'd like to hear about the expansion, too.)
Anne's ongoing Zuldazar adventures
- Yep, Anne is still exploring Zuldazar. What can we say? The place is pretty dang scenic. Today you can check out the Port of Zandalar and the Terrace of the Speakers.
Farewell, Trial of Style
- We'll close off today's roundup with a goodbye. The fabulous Trial of Style once again comes to a close, leaving our lives a little emptier. Did you participate in this particular brand of silliness this week?
That's it for now, dear readers. This is Liz, signing out for the weekend.
